Speak Out: Men can be great allies by speaking out if they witness inappropriate behavior and by setting an example of respectful conduct.

#EmpowHER Safety Tip: Practice your “graceful exit” line for conversations that feel uncomfortable. “I need to check in with my team” works every time.

Use the Buddy System: Whenever possible, move around the trade show with a colleague or friend. There’s safety in numbers, and it often makes navigating large events easier.

Meet on your terms. Coffee chats? Sure. Late-night meetups? Only if you feel safe. Your comfort comes first—always.

Trade shows can be crowded and overwhelming, but there’s power in community. Make a plan with fellow women to check in, share locations, and step in when something feels off.

While you are in transit, inside an uber, cab, etc…activate your google maps and mute it to make sure your driver is going the right way.

Always keep an “exit phrase.” A pre-set line like “I’ve got to check in with my colleague” lets you leave any interaction smoothly, without explanation.
